Storytelling tour with Birdie Thaler (in Swedish)

at

Join a Storytelling Tour in Lenke Rothman’s Exhibition at Malmö Konsthall. Artist Birdie Thaler, together with Malmö Konsthall’s guide Nilas Hultman, will showcase Lenke Rothman’s works and share personal reflections.

Storytelling tours are a concept that Malmö Konsthall began in 2019. These tours are led by people who have a personal connection to the themes of the exhibition. Through personal stories, the tours often broaden the focus beyond purely artistic perspectives.
